Thinking about Cho Yeong's journey in Alchemy of Souls is a bittersweet feeling.
I like fantasy stories in general because they give me this feeling that after a long journey, nothing is the same again. But the wounds along the way are there and at some point the characters will have to deal with them.
And I like to see that although part of the audience doesn't recognize it, Yeong is a character who has been dehumanized so many times in life, and that finding someone to be her safe haven, showing her weaknesses, selfishness and anger is what makes her more human.(she was made for us girls).
She didn't stop being strong just because she chose to follow another path, a path that wasn't imposed by perversity and trauma.
Now she is free to finally live as she wants, without manipulation. The sweet girl, the assassin, the master, the servant, the lady of a traditional family, the priestess are all part of the character's totality.
I love this character in all her entirety ♡
Tales of Jinyowon - Chapter 1 - heaven_habib - 환혼 | Alchemy of Souls (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
For those who like fanfics, I recommend "Tales of Jinyowon"
The writer manages to explore the essence of the characters and the canon of the story very well.
And since the story takes place after the events of the end of the drama, she is writing about Cho Yeong's psychology and the divine powers she inherited from Jin Seolran.
PS: The fanfic is written in ptbr but just use the translator in Chrome and translate it to your language.😊 It's really worth it and it's still in progress.
